Run Script Floating Window or Panel

Post by Millzey »

Is making the run script window floating or in a panel in the info panel possible for the future? Its a real pain to use the run script window for quick tests of code when you have to open it up after each run.

I see your point but... why a CKS isn't a solution for you? 'Run script...' and 'Run script again' can have their k-board shortcuts, same goes for User > Run script, so... don't suffer for these!

When a script error is reported, instead of Continue or Cancel I also want (need :!: ) the ability to edit the script, be it in "Enter Script" or "Try Script" window, or in an open editor window, and then just click Restart.
And why should a window just open to *test* a script, (very) often used to re-run the same script with some modification, be closed and re-opened just to do this, and not just allow to change and Restart?

For me, as scripter, this is just a basic need. I've wished this years ago, and also now I must say:

Along these same frustating items, the variables window doesnt remember its size - and less importantly its position

A little related, but for me, a simple indicator that a (heavy) script is running would be great.

I do have a script that folder-recursively calculates the hash of a bunch of files, and sometimes it can take some minutes to finish, silently "hanging" the system during its execution.

So, something like a simple "running script" modal and a nice "cancel" button would be enough.

Cheers.

You can easily implement that yourself by outputting info
With the status command coupled with a

Code: Select all

wait 1;
statement.
{Esc} will then cancel your script...
